Raw brownie recipe

This raw brownie recipe is one of my most popular recipes, probably because it is so easy and turns out so well. Walnuts, dates, coconut, cacao and salt combine in a food processor to create a surprisingly delicious traditional-style brownie. Top with chocolate icing for even more chocolate goodness!

Recipe Directions

1. Place pecans alone in your food processor and process until the pecans become small and crumbly.

2. Add dates to the raw brownie recipe and process again until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.

3. Add the remaining ingredients to this raw brownie recipe and process again until the mixture turns a lovely dark chocolatey brown. Stop processing before it gets too buttery. (There should still be air between the small bits so that you will be able to press them down into your brownie pan.)

4. Dump the mixture into a brownie dish or small cake pan and press down firmly using your clean hands.

5. Refrigerate this raw brownie recipe for a couple of hours. You do not have to refrigerate it, but it is much easier to slice when chilled. By the way, this is actually a raw brownie recipe that keeps its shape! So it can be good for serving to non-raw fooders because the presentation of this raw brownie recipe is good when chilled.

6. Store this raw brownie recipe in the refrigerator if it lasts that long!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

I am quite surprised and amazed at how the texture of this raw brownie recipe resembles real brownies--especially after this raw brownie recipe is refrigerated for about an hour or even longer.

My husband thinks this raw brownie recipe needs chocolate icing, but I disagree. I think it's perfect on its own! (But it is true, everything is better with raw chocolate icing on it.)

You can also use this raw brownie recipe as a pie crust or as very chocolately raw truffles.

Good luck trying to keep this raw brownie recipe around for longer than 24 hours. This vegan recipe would be good for about eight small servings. Feel free to double the recipe if you want more or if you want to make it last longer. (I usually double it.)

Advanced optional tip: Throw 1 tablespoon cacao nibs into the mixture after processing and before squishing into pan for fun crunchy texture!

I've got a question, and I'm sorry if you've covered this somewhere else but I'm looking for advice. I do not have a food processor and I'm wanting to get one for some of these recipes (I have a Ninja 6-blade blender so I'm thinking that wouldn't work for things like brownies or other drier blend-ups). What size processor should I be looking at? I think 2 cups is obviously too small, but I wonder if the 10-cup ones are too big for making recipes like yours.

So, what's an ideal starter size for a food processor?

Thanks! Love, love, love your website. I saw a girl buying almond milk at the store and wound up giving her your website after telling her it's cheaper to make it (especially if you use things like almond flour or want some fun recipes for the raw pulp). She immediately took out her phone and went to your website to check it out. :-)

Hi Beautiful People,

This is a gorgeous recipe, simply gorgeous. However, I used walnuts instead of pecans and after chilled and served, a few of the uneaten brownies became oily. HELP!!! Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

OMG, So I just had a big batch of these, after having your Spaghetti recipe and let me say wow... Absolutely WOW. I've been transitioning from being vegan to being fullyraw for the last few months...I've completed up to 2 weeks being completely raw but starting yesterday, I wanted to jump on being fullyraw with no timeline (hopefully for ever) and I came across your site today. I got everything for the spaghetti zoodles, "tuna salad", brownies/icing, and lemon cookies for under $50 (thanks to Trader Joes) and after making your amazing spaghetti and brownies, I am so motivated for doing this long term now! Thank you so much! <3 ++

Made these today---took about 5 minutes and they were delicious. I could not have believed how satisfying they were--my curiosity got the best of me, and it was worth it! I am an avid cook and really looking forward to making more. Delving into soups for tomorrow--starting with carrots because that is what I have on hand.
